Must try: Half and Half Chicken The food is very consistent with other the Fry stores, the chicken I always get is original and spicy. The service that we received was great. I can tell the girls are very busy and overloaded, but the waitress that worked our table always had a smile and got whatever we requested. I think it may be hit or miss. I would definitely go if I want KFC and don't want to venture uptown. - iPhoodie read more

Tried their Tuesday Takeout special of $10 wings, including fries. What a great deal with 10 wings and heaping amount of fries. 4 flavors that are relatively simple - we tried the soy and savory, both were delicious. One disadvantage is that they don't have any creamy dipping sauce but we used some that we had at home. Great little takeout deal for midweek! read more

Dropped by with the cousins and was hit with a 20 min wait. They didn't take numbers down, they just expect you to wait. I mean in the spring and summer its all cool but when its -20 outside, its kind of ridiculous! There is no waiting room but lucky we managed to squeeze us all in the little space they had. We finally sat and ordered our food! We got the cheesy corn (highly recommended by fellow yelpers), half and half chicken (soy garlic and sweet&spicy), and their famous scallion chicken. Honestly the soy garlic and sweet&spicy was super flavourful and yummy. The scallion chicken was a bit of a let down. I felt it needed a dipping sauce. Overall, it was okay food and the atmosphere is fun. Very casual and somewhat loud (drunk Koreans). There are probably better chicken places in the area to try. Happy Belly! read more

Pickup said 30 minute wait and made me wait 50 mins. The chicken is ok. Nothing worth a 50 minute wait read more

My friends and I came around the evening and got the Boneless Spicy Chicken. I would recommend it alongside the yogurt soju, however minus points for really slow service. Unfortunately my friends and I had to wait over an hour before our meal came out and it wasn't busy during the time. read more

I come here... pretty often! The food is delicious, worth it's value, and I'm always coming back, which is what usually differentiates between a 4 and 5 star for me. The side dishes usually consists of pickled radish, some sort of pasta, and some cabbage with mayo - and they are pretty generous with the refills! Usually, we get the half and half - soy/garlic & spicy, and it never fails to disappoint. The outside is damn crunchy and the inside is soft and tender with a kick of Asian spices. When it comes to Asian restaurants, I don't ever expect much from service, but I'd say that all of the servers are pretty attentive and they'll get you what you need! For $18.99 for half a rack may be a bit pricy, but the half and half deal is always worth :) read more

Decent food. But it doesn't make up for their horrible policies and customer service. No credit card for transactions under $15, they charge extra for every little thing like a small cup of hot sauce, no they won't do half spicy half garlic soy in a full chicken, and for some reason they don't even have rice as a side, just a bunch of French fries. They don't care about pleasing the customer, they just care about nickel and diming their customers. And almost no one uses cash anymore, it's 2021. I'm over it! read more

OH BOY, this fried chicken is the BOMB. The batter is thick but so light and not-oily, the chicken is juicy and the sauces are so yummy. Four of us got 1/2 dry chicken and 1/2 saucy chicken and both of them were a huge hit and got devoured in 10 minutes. You get the entire chicken (none of that sketchy wingless chicken you see sometimes at other places) making it a blessing and a curse. We got so much meat but also a lot of bones which made it hard to eat. However, they do offer boneless which is something I would definitely want to try in the future. Overall for $10 taxes and tips you can get yourself some yummy freshly fired chicken! read more

Cool place to hang out with friends. Fried chicken is pretty decent. Has nice flavor and a crunch. Comes with corn and 3 sides. Ordered the soy garlic and the spicy fried chicken, both were really good. Service was okay, waitress didn't return to our table much. Has good flavor sojus for drink while eating KFC :) love how it's open late as well. read more

The Fry - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Living downtown, there aren't a lot of places where u can get Korean fried chicken. Home of hot taste used to be my go to spot but in the past few years the quality really went down. I've tried the fry in North York and it was so so, but I've been wanting to try this location out for a long time... And super glad I did. Got the half half original and the spicy sweet sauce. Ugh so good. Perfect for after drinks. One star off because the seating situation is pretty terrible. read more

I went here on a Friday night with a friend and it was packed - only one table that was open. If we came any earlier than 9pm, I'm sure there would have been a wait. I would recommend ordering two types of boneless chicken (one with a heavy sauce and one without). Every bite of my chicken (with bones) was amazing, save for the fact that I had to keep picking away at the bones. We got the Half and Half Chicken ($27.99) with the Soy Sauce Garlic Chicken and the Fried Chicken in Sauce. The basket was enough to feed the two of us - especially since they gave us free corn kernels on a skillet and the typical Korean starters. Both were tender and tasty, whenever you didn't have 80% bone and 20% chicken (some pieces were 100% bone and 0% chicken...) I would say the Fried Chicken in Sauce was a bit too saucy and the Soy Sauce Garlic chicken was exactly what it was supposed to be. I liked having the two and eating them interchangeably (I can't stand food that has too much sauce). At the end, my friend and I could not finish the food. We gave up 90% of the way there. I would have pushed on but I had too much of a stomach ache from all the coffee I had earlier that day. read more

İ really did enjoy the atmosphere this little place has. People working here have such a good vibe. Small appy tray was nice, i loved the pickled radish. Mayo pasta thing was odd, and the shredded radish with some kind of spicy mayo was okay. We ordered 3 small baskets. Not so small. Fried chicken soy garlic was amazing. The fried in spicy sauce was okay too, too sweet for me. Overall nice experience. read more

I would give it a one star if the chicken wasn't so good. When we sat down, they almost immediately asked us what we wanted to order. We were never asked what we wanted to drink and were only given water after we had already gotten our food and we specifically asked for it. We first tried to order both boneless and bone-in chicken with a side of cheese corn. We were told that they didn't have any cheese corn or boneless wings. So we ended up getting two orders of chicken, one with sauce and one without, and an order of cheese fries. They said they only had large for cheese fries (how is that possible?) so we got that. The chicken that we were brought was a mixture of bone-in and boneless, which was very confusing. As we were leaving, the table next to us got an order of cheese corn and we watched it disappointed as the waitress placed it in front of them. Overall I would not recommend this location, but try out another one read more

Everything is exceptional about this place. The quality of the food, portions, and value for money. I've been here about 10 times and every single time I'm hungry for more and looking forward to the next time! What I always get: Boneless green onion chicken, spicy rice cake dish, garlic fries. These are all easily shareable, so ask about the portions before putting in your order! Only criticism about The Fry is that it is FREAKIN' COLD in the winter! They need to turn the heat on, and its like that during every visit in the cold months. Also, the staff should probably come around more often. They aren't hard to flag down, considering the cash desk is super close, but as a part of their service mandate, they should definitely come around more often. Value here is really awesome for what you pay compared to other popular places like MyMy Chicken. This is much cheaper, with incredibly tasty food. read more

Worst service ever. Left feeling furious. Waited for over 30 minutes. A couple came after my friend and I and got a table right away. Went up to the lady to tell her that we have been waiting for more than half an hour. She slammed her notebook and card machine onto the reception desk and asked if I left my info on the "waitlist". Now let's clarify, the "waitlist" is an ordinary notebook look after by her, the only server in the whole entire restaurant. She then went up to the couple telling them to leave so that my friend and I could have the table. HOWEVER, she was polite as hell to those Korean-speaking customers. Then she came back to me and said rudely to "go sit". My friend and I decided to leave right away, if my friend hadn't rushed me off I would have told her to brush up her service and attitude. This used to be my favourite KFC place, but not anymore. read more

The two times I ordered The Fry, the chicken was fresh. That's the best thing about The Fry. I got The Fry through Uber & it was so fresh & hot. Me and my hubby loved it both times we ubered it in. I think its a good late night snack when you want to ease off of sugary & starchy food. It was soo satisfying... Ample amount of white meat & dark meat... read more

Awesome fried chicken and side dishes. The corn cane sizzling on a hot platter and other side dishes came in organized plate. The chicken was light and crispy with overload of the sticky delicious sauce! It's light and airy not dense like Popeyes but still has great crunch! read more

Always find myself back at the Fry when I'm craving KFC! That day i went we ordered boneless chicken with green onion and fried chicken in sauce. I always get the chicken with green onion and it never disappoints. The chicken is moist and has a nice crunch to it. Also another one of my favourites here is the corn cheese! I've learned that ordering the chicken in spicy sauce is too spicy for my liking so I just switched to just the sauce (still tastes very good) read more

Come for the food. Ignore the bad service. The cheesy corn and garlic fires are super addictive and you just can't stop eating them. In terms of the Chicken I would recommend the Sweet and Spicy and the Soy Ginger. If you get the chicken without sauce it is a little dry but with sauce it is awesome! read more

I found the mirrored glass in the front a little off-putting, but Yelp convinced me to give it a go. Inside was much nicer than the mirrored glass would suggest. I got the half and half chicken for two people, at the server's suggestion. The spicy was more sweet than spicy, which isn't really my thing, but that's a personal preference and I know I'm an outlier. There was a ton of chicken. If you're in the neighborhood, this is a pretty solid option. I'm not much for fried chicken, but every once in a while I get a craving, so I'll probably be back to check out this patio they supposedly have. read more

come here with friends and get the yang nyum spicy wings! i tried the green onion wings and they paled a bit in comparison in terms of flavour. just be ready for the heat. for appetizers they give you corn, pickled radish, coleslaw pasta, and salad. i just ate the corn. the coleslaw pasta is better than regular coleslaw. definitely coming back! read more

I fell in love with Korean Fried Chicken in the States and so far nothing has lived up to the Bon Chon standard. I'd say The Fry is one of the better alternatives in the GTA, with good food, great flavour, but alittle pricey. The food (4/5): I've tried 3 things here: Garlic Soy Chicken (with bones), garlic fries, and the hot & spicy chicken with cheese. Mind you, all 3 dishes are huge proportions, especially the chicken, its enough for 2 people to share. The Garlic Soy chicken comes out looking like Popeyes/KFC, bubbly yet crispy skin and moist on the inside. Flavour is great, tastes like Soy Garlic, but I was thoroughly disappointed that it wasn't cooked doubly fry style where you get a glassy crisp as the skin. Ah well! However, those garlic fries doe... I can munch on them all day. I'd highly recommend! Sweet, garlicky, with a bubbly crisp :3 The spicy BBQ chicken with cheese is alittle on the spicy side for me but I have a low spice tolerance anyways. Its pieces of chicken on a bed of onions slathered in their spicy sauce and topped with cheese. A good dish too. The Cost (3/5): The Soy Garlic was ~$16, Garlic Fries ~$8, Spicy BBQ chicken w/ cheese ~$12 (not sure not on this one). I'd say that if you were ordering 1 dish for yourself then its a bit pricey, but as I said about the proportions are huge, so order a couple and share it between friends, it comes to a good price point per person that way. Service (3.5/5): I came with a friend on a Friday night for dinner. The small place was packed with a constant line up for take out orders. From what I noticed there were 2 waitresses managing the tables and the cash. I found I didn't have to wait too long to be attended too, so no complaints here. The servers were nice considering how they were being pulled in every direction. Ambience (4/5): Place was small, and somewhat dark. It had it's own identity and I'd say it was a pretty casual and hip place to chill. Bathrooms were meh but nothing to complain about here read more

Highly disappointed - when we first signed our name for waitlist. we were told we had to wait 30~40 mins; after 30 min, we followed-up to which the bitchy waitress replied "i said MINIMU 30 min." ...not the kind of attitude we were looking for after waiting 30 min on a cold night - she succeeded on making our night feel horrible. read more

The restaurant atmosphere was like any other Korean fried chicken place where it's dark and a bar type vibe. The food was okay, but this wasn't korean fried chicken that I was used to. The skin wasn't crispy and the sauce tasted weird (I ordered the special sauce and soy garlic chicken). The special sauce tasted like typical sweet and sour sauce and the soy garlic had little to no flavor on it. THE CHICKEN TASTED BETTER COLD WHEN I BROUGHT IT BACK HOME. We also ordered their butter fries, but we didn't expect it to be so sweet from the pile of powder dumped on top of it. The fries itself were good and nicely fried. Service was good. Overall, if you'd had good korean fried chicken, don't expect the same and only expect just fried chicken. It was an okay experience. read more

Was told the wait time would be an hour. Waited at least 2 hours, while everyone who came after us were seated. A lot of people were loitering in the restaurant. There should be a time limit for these things. Lost a customer. read more

The Fry is one of my favourite spots in the city for fried chicken. It's a Korean place, so as is tradition, they give you side dishes with your order, which can be replenished at your request. My favourite side dish has got to be the corn and butter in the aluminum serving tray. As for the fried chicken, I always get the boneless chicken with green onions (a classic). The portions are HUGE. It's quite literally a mountain of fried chicken. Make sure you go with a group of friends. It's made to order, so it's always hot and fresh. This is a great food to eat with beer and Korean soju, while enjoying a great night with your friends. The best part is that The Fry is open late, so it's perfect for those late night fried chicken cravings! read more

Having never tried korean fried chicken, my friend and I were excited to come to the Fry and check it all out! Upon arriving on a Saturday night, we were immediately seated next to the door (which was a little chilly) but a good experience nonetheless. We opted for the garlic chicken and spicy tteokbokki, and received complementary sides like butter corn. Although the servers were busy, they were patient and helped explain the choices that were offered. The food, however, was really nice! The spicy tteokbokki with cheese (added cost) was enjoyable but the KFC really made my night. The seasoning was perfectly done and the meat was nice and tender. I hope to come again soon! read more

Ordered take-out but unfortunately did not get any sides that people seem to be raving about. Maybe next time will try dining in. Fried chicken with sauce and their sweet potato fries were great! Just the fried chicken alone was ok. A little bit pricey but decent! read more

The Fry - Korean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Nothing special or memorable. The basic fried chicken is a little bit on the dry side. Also tried the spicy sauce, which was much more sweet than it was spicy. Compared to other Korean fried chicken, say at Momofuku, it lacked complexity in flavour. At nearly $30 for the order, I would have preferred a smaller quantity with better quality. Crispy fries were good, but at $8, a bit on the outrageous side. Not too much to note on service as I took takeout. Just that there was general confusion about what to do when I came by to pick up my order and that it took an extra ten minutes from the promised time. But meh. Not the end of the world. read more

First time eating at The Fry and would definitely go again to try their other chicken dishes. I ordered the spicy chicken with cheese, spicy rice cake, and sweet potato fries as a side. The chicken and rice cakes were served hot and in a timely manner. Both were delicious and cooked well. Both dishes were portioned well for two people at most, and were cut into pieces small enough for one bite. I would suggest adding 2 pepper signs on the menu for the spicy rice cake as it was considerably more spicy than the spicy chicken. As for the sweet potato fries, I never got to try it. They got our order wrong and gave us the cheese fries instead. However, I would definitely recommend the cheese fries as it is something I would order next visit. The fries were reminiscent of Costco fries and covered with dry cheese bits all over like it was breaded chicken. It was delicious. Overall, the food was great and the service was satisfactory. My only gripe would be getting my order wrong, which still turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I would suggest having the waitresses/waiters write the order down on paper instead of memorizing. read more

I've already been here twice. I enjoyed their original fried chicken. The batter tasted really good but the chicken needed more salt. We usually order half chicken for two people. It comes with 4 sides. The corn (comes as a side with the chicken) is delicious. The spicy rice cake wasn't very good. We also had fried chicken with spicy sauce which is a good choice too. The fry is also open till very late which is convenient. read more

Heard many things about "korean fried chicken"- finally tried it and I can say I'm a fan, but only because I love fried chicken. Would I come back here if I'm craving fried chicken again? Potentially... but I'd also be ok with grabbing wings at a regular pub/bar. The side dishes were great- the corn was a nice extra touch. Lots of people raved about the green onion but I didn't think it was too flavourful or special. We got the non-spicy special sauce, which was my favourite of the 2. I would love to get a spicy one next time as well. It was fairly easy to grab a table on a Sunday night at 7pm- but it was still fairly full. Definitely reserve if you have a large group. read more

This is hands down the best place for fried chicken in Toronto. And this is coming from someone who loathes chicken. I never ever eat it. I actually choose the vegetarian entree at weddings rather than eat chicken. Yet the fried chicken at The Fry is so damn delicious that I will eat chicken here happily. Trust me you won't be disappointed. The service isn't that great (which is why it's not a 5 star review) but the chicken here is totally worth the subpar service and the sketchy front exterior. read more

Used to come regularly for a nice crispy Korean fried chicken. I like the chicken in sauce. Flavoury and delicious. However, recently, they probably changed the staff. The waitress is pretty unfriendly and arrogant. She didnt check tables, threw food on the table and stared at us. We didnt expect excellent service but please, at least be nice and friendly. I really dont like that kind of attitude. I only came back when it's late night. Yes, for sure the food is delicious but service is bad! read more

The food here is delicious the only thing that irks me is the owner of the establishment has only one waitress who does the waiting tables, special requests, cleans tablets, get that table extra sides., billing, stupid questions from patrons like how many pieces of chicken comes in a dozen. I've came here about 20 times and every time that question is asked. Expect the service and wait time be slow don't blame the server it is not her fault she deserves the tips be sure to request for your sides or water as these can be missed. This place needs to hire 2-3 servers on fri,sat,sun and Wednesday special night. I enjoyed the soy garlic chicken wings great flavour and the sides of corn, pasta salad, turnips was delicious!!!! Again expect long wait times I don't get why people like to idle here eat and enjoy your food and get out for the next set of customers thank you read more

Don't come here if you're not ready to be infuriated. Waited for over half and hour and nobody attended to us. My friend and I had to go and ask the lady, who was the only worker, why other people who came later were able to be seated before us. She gave us the worst attitude ever and kicked out one of the couple who came later than us, and told us to sit down. We left feeling insulted. read more
